Can a CAD technician resolve a design clash independently?
They can identify and illustrate it, but the responsible designer should approve the technical resolution before issue.
Who may issue a drawing for construction?
The project document-control and checking process should identify the authorised status and approver; producing the file does not itself grant issue authority.
Can a CAD Technician approve a design change?
Not merely because they can edit the file. The accountable designer should authorise technical changes and the revised information should pass checking and issue control.
Who owns drawings created during employment?
The contract should address employment intellectual property, client licences, confidential project data and any agreed portfolio use.
Can a construction CAD Technician work remotely on project files?
Yes where approved, with suitable equipment, licensed software, secure file access, backups and restrictions on local copies or personal cloud storage.
How should revision instructions be recorded?
Use a traceable instruction, mark the revision accurately and preserve review and issue history rather than overwriting controlled information without evidence.
Can model-clash coordination be included?
Yes, identifying detection and reporting duties while leaving discipline design decisions with the relevant authorised designers.
What happens when source drawings conflict?
The technician should flag the discrepancy and seek an authorised resolution rather than select or combine dimensions based on assumption.
